TT MORNING OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, I90S. P T Lincoln-Roosevelt League Is Extending Its Organization in California. APPEAL OF SCHMITZ CASE Interest Centers In Supremo Court. City of -San Francisco to Have a. Thorough Cleaning Flowers In the Vacant Lots. TNG SOUTHERN SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 16. (Special.) A sparring match for position among the factions in the Republican party ot the state has attracted general attention during the week. Negotiations are pending between the county committee and the Lincoln-Roosevelt League by which har mony may be restored. The league was organized as a series of Republican clubs throughout the state and intended pri marily to make no attempt to capture the organization, but to rely entirely upon a direct appeal to the people on each issue as It arose. The league, however, has developed such unexpected strength that the offer for a conference came from the county committee. The league promptly met the overtures, but made it plain at the outset that the only agreement it would enter Into must be such as to give It complete control. The first conference has been held and appearances indicate that the league will soon assume control. This will give the organization a position of greater strength than It was thought it could acquire In so short a time. As pointed out before In these letters, the league is composed of those Independent Republicans who are opposed to the domination of the Southern Pacific and are pledged to carry forward the principles of Theodore Roosevelt. The league has been particularly active during recent weeks. Chester Rowell, editor of the Fresno Republican, state or ganizer, has recently established branches of the organization throughout Southern California. Each assembly district ts being canvassed and candidates will be placed In the field for the legislature from every district. It Is the Intention to send to the Legislature a set of men not bound to the Southern Pacific, as the legislative bodies of the past have been, and thus provide for the election of a United States Senator free from the cor poration collar. In the last Senatorial year, the Southern Pacific had such a firm grip upon the Legislature that it sent one of its own attorneys, Frank Flint, to the United States Senate. Scrim it i Case In Supreme Court. . With the Schmltz case now before the Supreme Court, Interest will center for the time being on that tribunal. The District Attorney has appealed from the decision of the District Court of Ap peals, which promulgated the ruling that has drawn forth the contempt of the world, to the effect that extortion is no . crime. It Is not thought that the Supreme Court will long delay tn Its decision. It may be stated that the members of the . graft prosecution expect a reversal of the Appellate Court's decision, but pre dictions are useless. The Appellate Court is practically a new institution In California. It was instituted some four years ago and occupies a place between the Superior Courts and the Supreme Court. The intermediary court Was Instituted primarily for the purpose of relieving the Supreme Court of the immense burden of work cast upon it. li was intended, therefore, that Its de cisions should be regarded as final. Nat urally it will be the disposition of the Supreme Court to discourage appeals from the Appellate Court, but whether this w;ill affect the decision In the Schmitz case, cannot, of course, be stated. The appeal was written by C. V. Cobb, Heney's law partner, and contains some caustic comment on the ruling of the court. Bitter irony runs through the verbiage in a swift undercurrent. It is one of the most remarkable documents with which the Supreme Court has to denl. Meanwhile the case of Abe Ruef en gages the attention of the court. Ruef's attorney, .Henry Ach, Is making the same technical fight that characterized the de fense In the graft cases in their early stages. There appears, however, no reason to doubt that all of the technicali ties brought forward by Ach will be swept aside and the case ordered to trial. Some time may be consumed in securing a Jury as Ach is extremely searching in its Interrogation of talesmen, but after that the case will proceed to a speedy conviction. Ruef will of course urge that his contract gave him immunity, but the false plea will be swept aside with small delay. Flowers In Vacant Lots. San Francisco is undergoing a general housecleanlng for the double purpose of looking presentable, when the fleet ar rives and for providing against a spread of the bubonic plague. Sidewalks are being cleaned, vacant lots cleared and an attempt made to dress the city in holiday attire. The large amount of builaing operations, however, makes Impossible any special show of cleanliness. One suggestion that has been received with favor calls for the adornment of all the vacant lots with grass and flowers. Su , perintendent McLaren, of Golden Gate Park, has suggested that seed of rapidly growing flowers be scattered in the vacant spaces and the committee in charge of the celebration has approved the recom mendation. , The housecleanlng to guard against the plague has proceeded along a well deilned' plan. Rats are being killed at the rate of 1000 a day. Dr. Rupert Blue, the Fed eral officer In charge of the situation, says that is too slow. The Citizens' Health Committee has authorized him at any time he deems It expedient to In crease the bounty on tfie rodents from 10 cents to 25 cents for the males and 50 cents for the females. Arrangements have been made for the Inspection of the city block by block. The policemen have been ordered to ar rest any person who fails to comply with the sanitary ordinances, the District At torney's office has detailed a special deputy to prosecute all such cases. The regulations provide for the use of metal garbage cans which must be turned over to a scavenger every day and the refuse cremated the same day. The wholesale cattlemen. rj-utchcrs and others comprising the stock-yard interests have begun to clean up their places. The Federal authorities threatened to take possession unless they complied with the orders for cleanliness. An ordinance now before the Board of Supervisors provides that every building In the city must have a concrete floor. In this way, say Dr. Blue, he believes the city can be made rat proof. War has been declared upon the Celi fomia flea as well as upon the rat. No bounties are offered for fleas, but their breeding places are being destroyed. For the work now being carried on here, the Government la paying $Jo,000 a month, which la more than It has ever before expended In a similar undertaking. Xn New Orleans . the Government appro priated $17,000 a month. The City of Xew Orleans expended J50.000 a month. So far the City of San Francisco has been expending only $10,000 a month, but a big fund is now being raised by the merchants which will be turned over to Dr. Blue. P. A. S. UNIONS AID PLAGUE FIGHT Promts to Do All in Their Power to Heir Other Meetings Today. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16. Meetings were hold today by members of the Re tail Butchers' Association of San Fran cisco, members of the Barbers' Union and the owners of barber parlors throughout the city, to further the plans of the health authorities In riding the city of rats and other aids to the spread of the plague, should there be a return of the dread disease to "the city with the beginning of warm weather. These in stitutions all agreed to lend every assist ance to the crusade. Following instructions from the arch bhtliop, all members of the Catholio clergy in the city talked from their pul pits today on the necessity for better sanitary conditions and the Immediate extermination of rats, and made appeals to their parishioners to take such meas ures as will be most effective. There are several meetings scheduled for tomorrow, and it Is expected that be fore the end of the week every organiza tion in the city will be working to the end that all conditions tending to spread the plague, should It again appear, will be removed. IS KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE UN ABLE TO ELECT SENATOR. Beckham Democrats Determined to Rule or Ruin Political Game Blocks Legislation. FRANKFORT. Ky, Feb. 16. The Kentucky General Assembly has bal loted for exactly a month In an effort to elect a United States Senator to succeed James B. McCreary, and to day Is apparently no nearer an elec tion than It was on the day the first ballot was taken. In the first vote, ex-Governor Beckham, who had been nominated at the Democratic pri maries, received 66 votes; ex-Governor Bradley, Republican caucus nominee, 64 votes, while seven Democratic votes were scattered and one Republic an absent through illness. The relative standing of the two candidates is practically the same as when the voting began, and during the four weeks intervening, however, the limit of politics has been played by both Democrats and Republicans in the effort to secure an advantage in the race and break the deadlock. The principal vehicle for charges and counter-charges has been a bill to ex tend the provisions of the county unit lineal option prohibition law uniform ly to all counties of the state. The Republicans have charged that the Beckham Democrats have used this bill as a legislative football, seek ing first to deal with the recalcitrant Democrats, first by holding up the bill, and failing in this to hang it over their heads as a punishment for their fail ure to support the Democratic nom inee. On the other hand, the prohibi tion Democrats assert that the Re publicans have violated the emphatic declarations of their last state plat form by voting with the so-called liquor demands to delay the bill. The constant effort of the Demo crats who are opposing Beckham has been to present the name of some good Democrat who might prove powerful enough to induce some of the Beck ham men to desert him. Senator Mc Creary, Henry Watterson, ex-Senator Blackburn, Colonel J. R. Alien and State Senator Wheeler Campbell are among those frequently supported, but the Beckham Democrats remained im movable and declare that if Beckham cannot wm, no other Democrat shall. The Republicans are supporting Bradley as a unit, hopeful that they may finally secure enough votes from antl-Beckhamltes to elect him. While the senatorial struggle is at the boil ing point, legislation is at a standstill. WOMEN TO WATCH FIGHTS Spokane. Athletic Club to Introduce an Innovation. SPOKANE, Wash., Feb. 16. (Special.)

A. at Whitman Closes Ses sion Address by Rev. Rader. WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla, Wash., Feb. 16. (Special.) Much good in the line of religious work in the colleges and schools of the Inland Empire should result from the Eastern student confer ence which held its closing sessions to night, under the auspices of the Whitman College Young Women's Christian As sociation. The girls will go home with three things, said Miss Frances C. Gage, one of the conference leaders, a better ap preciation of the value of organization, a better knowledge of what they can do and a deeper dependence on spiritual life. The delegations are large enough so that they can materially affect their schools. A mass meeting for girls and women only was led this afternoon by Rev. Paul Rader of the Hassalo-Street Congrega tional Church of Portland. The closing address was given by Rev. John C. Abells, of Moscow, Idaho. SEATTLE SOCIALISTS MARTYRS Police Records Show 159 Arrests Last Year for Blocking Streets. SEATTLE, Feb. 16. (Special.) In the campaign against socialist speakers dur ing 1907. lo9 persons were arrested on charges of obstructing the streets. Of that number 43 were discharged, 39 com mitted to jail, 33 fined and 44 cases are still pending. These facts are contained in the annual report of the Police De partment, which has Just been delivered to Mayor William Hickman Moore. Dur ing the same period, 122 arrests on gam bling charges were made. Forty-three of that number were discharged, 19 were committed to Jail and 6S fined. Two cases are pending. SHAKE-UP IN THE POWERS IS LIKELY (Continued From First Page.) reform in Macedonia laid down by the "Murzzuschlag programme," and y even hinted, he added, at the existence of a secret treaty between Germany, Austria and Turkey. The Ambassador's state ment follows: "These statements are absolutely false and unfounded. No such treaty has ever been made. On the contrary, Germany will give her full assistance to any steps taken by Austria and Russia in accordance with the 'Murzzuschlag programme.' The German government further agrees, in principle, with the judicial reform favored by England, and has directed her representative at Con stantinople to sign a new collective note to the sublime Porte. "With regard to the railroad conces sion in the Balkans, a question started exclusively by the Austrian government, Germany is doing her best to relieve the tension which has arisen through the Question between Austria and Russia, and has done so with every promise of success. Germany considers the exten sion of the railway system in the Bal kans a most important factor In aiding the -progress of civilization in parts of the globe where It is especially needed. "The treaty guaranteeing the territor ial integrity of Norway has likewise given rise to similar publications, totally misrepresenting the attitude of Germany with regard to the North Sea. "In suggesting an agreement on this subject, Germany laid Bpeclal Impor tance on the participation of Holland, as the idea of annexation of Holland by Germany has also recently been spread by a portion of the Western European press. The Dutch government has taken part In the negotiations from the very beginning . and has expressed its high appreciation with regard to the German proposal. "So far as Belgium is concerned, the intentions of Germany In the North Sea give no rise to suspicion whatever at Brussels. Former treaties of Integrity are a sufficient proof of Germany's clear and peaceful policy with regard to Belgium. Hence, in the United States, not the slightest suspicion is noticeable as to the attitude of Germany in the North Sea question." ENGLAND FORMTTL ATI NG PLAN Cabinet Will Hear Scheme of Foreign Office Next Week. LONDON, Feb. 16. The leaders in the movement for reforms in Macedonia are urging upon Sir Edward Grey, the Secre tary of Foreign Affairs, that the break ing up of the concert of the powers gives the government opportunity for action which should bring about beneficial re sults. They contend that Great Britain is now free to -"act vigorously and being outside the group of concession seekers, her demands will be more likely to re ceive attention. The Cabinet has not yet decided whether Great Britain will act Independ ently, but the foreign office is formulat ing a new scheme which will be out lined by the foreign secretary In a speech on February 25. ' Among the press and public, the break ing up of the concert is overshadowed by "The fight for railways," which Aus tria with the sympathy, if not the sup port of Germany, has started. AH uthorlties adhere to the first impression that Austria's action is Inopportune and an apparent breach of the understanding with Russia whereby these two powers agreed not to seek concessions without consulting each other. Russia's counter proposal that she be given the right to build a railroad from the Danube to the Adriatic is considered a natural result following Austria's action. The position created, however, -is greatly regretted, as it is believed that it indefinitely postpones reforms in Mace donia, for it Is not likely that Turkey would grant to a divided ambassadorial conference what she had refused to grant to the allied powers, and beside tends to weaken confidence in the maintenance of peace in Europe. Thus far there has been but little refer ence to the notification of t"s German Ambassador at Constantinople, Baron Marschal von Bieberstein, to the other ambassadors, that Germany would not longer act with the other powers In in- slstlng that Turkey consent to their de mands, but officially that is considered the more serious phase of the question. FRANCE FEARS FOR TROUBLE Forte Sure to Take Advantage of Sit uation in Macedonia. PARIS, Feb. 16. The interjection of rivalry between the nations on the Bal kan question at a moment when t would seem essential that the powers should present a inited front to compel the Porte to apply the Macedonian re forms is regarded as unfortunate. While it is too early to assume that this means a complete rupture of the European concert, it has created dl visions and suspicions among the powers of which the Porte Is sure to take advantage to the detriment of tne cnristians in Macedonia. The Novlbazar-Salonlka concession is considered here to be of far-reaching importance and more of a German than an Austrian triumph, as it extends Austro-German influence to the Aegean Sea, and furnishes the connecting link for the Bagdad Railway with Asia Minor. According to the government's latest advices, Austria is willing that Russia seek compensation In the shape of a Dandbe-Adriatlc line. This would, in a measure, restore equilibrium be tween the Austro-German and the Slav economic Influences in the Balkans by opening up an unlimited market for Russian oil, enabling Roumania and Bulgaria to be more independent of the Dardanelles, giving Albania and Servia another outlet in addition to furnishing European commerce, es pecially Italian commerce, with a new gateway into the Balkans. Even If the Porte acceded to this ar rangement, the question remains whether the acceptaince of the Porte's favors will not disqualify Austria and Russia from continuing to act as European mandatories. SULTAN IS ONLY SMILING Breaking of European Concert Would Be to His Liking. ROME, Feb. 16. "The Sultan is rub bing his hands," said an ambassador of one of the leading powers in explain ing that the only country to profit by the breaking up of the European under standing in the Balkans would be Turkey. So far Turkey has only con sented to a commission to study the proposed Austria railways and has not as yet given the concession, and it is well known how many years are neces sary to obtain concessions from the Porte. Meanwhile Russia and France ar active in their endeavors to further the projected Adriatic-Black Sea Railway to counterbalance Austria's plans. They are endeavoring to. enlist Great Bri tain and Italy in this movement, thus forming an Anglo-Slavo-Latin compact against Austria and Germany, but Great Britain, under Sir Henry Camp-bell-Bannernian, seems to have lost all Special Prices on Glassware 20c Vinegars 12c Jelly Molds 10c Spoon Trays 15c Olive Dishes..?. 25c Horseradish Jars... 20c Butter Dish with cover... 20c tall footed Jelly Stands.. 75c Orange Bowls, 12-in. size.

There is much skepticism, however, on this point, for it is believed that they would have difficulty in overcoming: the racial, religious and linguistic barriers. GERMANY'S VIEW CALMER Believes Austria Has Only Economic Interests in Railroads. BERLIN, Feb. 16. The German foreign office regards the reports concerning the differences between the powers, and espe cially between Austria and Russia, over the Balkan question, as much exagger ated. The German government has taken no steps in the matter of building by Austria of a railroad line through the Turkish province of Novibazar, a line that would put Salonika in direct rail com munication with Vienna; Germany re gards Austria's designs in this direction as wholly economic, and she therefore wishes the Austrian plan to succeed. But no occasion has yet arisen for Germany to come out in active support of this project. Germany, the representative of the As sociated Press Is informed, will take but a secondary position in the entire Mace donian question, leaving it to be dealt with by the powers having more direct interests in this part of Southeastern Eu rope, such as Russia and Austria. Independent observers of foreign poli tics herg are of the opinion that the completion of both the railroad projects in the Balkans, the Austrian-Novibazar line and the line proposed by Russia to connect the Danube with the Adriatic Sea, would be an admirable impetus to the civilization of the Balkans. SITUATION TENSE IN VIENNA Government Sensitive to Press At tacks In France and Russia. VIENNA, Feb. 16. Despite official as surances that harmony has been re established between Austria and Russia, the situation arising from the Question of railway concessions in the Balkans has not lost Its tension. Neither tne foreign office nor the Russian embassy is concealing the fact that the action of Baron von Ahrenthal, the Austrian For eign Minister, has caused deep concern in St. Petersburg. Even should the Russian plans for a railroad from the Danube to the Adriatic be carried out with the consent of Austria, it is considered here that the work of Macedonian reform has come to a standstill. It is pointed out at the foreign office that Russia has not yet informed Austria ' 6f her plans, and It is therefore concluded by the Austrian officials that either Russia has resolved not to carry them out at all or con templates some modification of them. The government - is growing sensitive under the aggressive attacks of the French and Russian press and adverse criticism In Great Britain and will not admit that the Russian-Austrian entente has become ineffective. The consensus of independent opinion, however, is that the Murzzuschlag scheme has practically disappeared.

FLOOD IS RECEDING Damage at Pittsburg Estimat ed in Millions. SUFFERING IS INTENSE Cold Weather Sets In and Many Families Are Without Food or Heat Charitable Institutions Working Night and Day. PITTSBURG, Feb. 16. After reach ing thirty and seven-tenths feet at noon today and remaining at that stage for three hours, -the high water In the river is now slowly receding. The danger mark in this city is 22 feet. The damage. It Is estimated, will run up to several million dollars, but there was no loss of life. The suffering caused by the high fcvater is intense. Thousands of per sons are living In the upper floors of their homes, using skiffs as a means of transportation to and fro. The lower portions of their homes are filled with water. In many instances the household goods were not removed, owing to a lack of time, and chairs, tables, pianos and bric-a-brac are float ing about the rooms. To add to the suffering of the vic time, the weather grew cold today and snow fell. The gas connections of the houses have been disarranged, and, in their 'present damp condition, life Is made miserable for the unfor tunate occupants. Charitable institutions, making use of many skiffs and rafts, have been busily working throughout all of last night and today serving hot coffee and food to the sufferers, most ot whom are poor. As the night advanced the waters be gan to recede rapidly and at midnight the flood was passing away almost as rapidly as It came at the rate of half a foot an hour. SCRAMBLE FOR CITY BONDS Active Bidding to Secure New York's $50,000,000 Issue. ' NEW YORK, Feb. 16. The most im portant event of the week in the finan cial world was the sale of $50,000,000 ot New York City iVi per cent bonds, the largest single offering in the history of the municipality. The 1160 Individual bid ders far outnumber the previous record of 886 for last September's 40,000,000 sale and the gross bids reached the enormous total ef 00.000.000, or an over-subscription six times the amount of the issue. The average price realized at 104 com pares well with 102.063 for the September issue. Thus the new issue is on a basis of investment return to the subscribers of 4.32 per cent, compared with 4.39 per cent for the September subscriptions. for, each 90 Bond dealers as a rule express great sat isfaction with the result and look for much benefit to the Investment market. The downward course of money rates suffered some arrest, especially in for eign markets, wnere the payment of Bank of England obligations to the Bank of France was an Influence with reac tionary effect on British consuls and gilt edge Investment Issues. News of factory resumption on a con siderable scale has been a feature of the day today developments, mixed, how ever, with advices of additional curtail ment in other lines. Figures of bank clearings, while still showing a large contraction from last year's correspond ing periods, are beginning to make a more favorable comparison than the pre ceding reports. The same Is true of gross earnings for the railroads for the latter week's reporting. Hotelman a Suicide. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 16. The dead body of David E.
